Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5444 The Dragon Butcher

“Human, get the hell out of the Dragon Domain! You ants are polluting the Dragon Domain’s sacred energy!” bellowed a Heaven Saint from the dragon race.

Another sneered, “This fellow is definitely a companion of those cowards! Break his limbs and toss him in front of the white dragon race’s territory! We’ll see what kind of reaction we get from them.”

“Just cut off his head. We’ll kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. It can be a declaration of war against those fools,” suggested the third idiot.

Despite Long Chen’s earlier warnings, the dragon experts were neither intimidated nor cautious. It only fueled their fury, and they encircled him.

“Kneel!” one of them commanded as he stepped forward.

Long Chen's palm slammed onto the expert's shoulder with devastating force. Though the dragon expert instinctively tried to resist, his knees buckled under the overwhelming power. Bone shattered audibly as he hit the ground, and the immense pain made him scream.

“Kill him!” the others roared, charging forward.

However, they were hopelessly outmatched. To Long Chen, these so-called experts were little more than overconfident fools. In a blur of motion, he had them all on their knees in moments.

One attempted to flee but was caught mid-step. Long Chen grabbed him by the neck and hoisted him into the air like a ragdoll.

“What did you say just now? Cut off my head? Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys? That’s not a bad idea,” said Long Chen darkly.

“I-I...” the dragon expert stammered, but it was too late.

With a brutal twist, Long Chen wrenched the dragon’s head from his body. It rolled across the ground, leaving the others stunned.

“You...!”

These dragon experts had not expected Long Chen to dare to kill one of them in the Dragon Domain. Long Chen simply ignored them and continued onward.

Very quickly, the disturbance drew even more dragon experts. The moment they saw Long Chen, they immediately attacked. In response, Long Chen blew apart a dragon expert with his punch, causing the bloody scent in the air to intensify.

Long Chen didn’t show them mercy. To fools, he was willing to give them a chance. But against those who attacked to kill right from the start, he showed no mercy.

“Enemy attack!” A scream split the air, and more dragon experts gathered.

With a single palm from Long Chen, hundreds of dragon experts were sent flying through the air, tumbling into the distance.

With a cold tone, Long Chen declared, “If you don’t want to die, stay back. I’m here for your race leaders and ancestors.”

“You think a mere human is qualified to meet our leaders? Our ancestors are beyond even our reach! Who do you think you are?”

The mocking dragon’s words were cut short as Long Chen’s bone spear pierced through his chest. In a blur, Long Chen materialized before him, his expression dark.

“Is this enough qualifications?” Long Chen’s voice was calm yet deadly.

This dragon expert didn’t have time to respond before his body exploded into pieces. Chaos erupted among the remaining experts, who quickly fell back. After all, the one who had been slain was one of their strongest experts.

Each step Long Chen took forced the dragon disciples to retreat further, their arrogance crumbling into fear. The once-proud experts froze, paralyzed by the overwhelming pressure radiating from him.

With a wave of his spear, a resounding dragon cry echoed through the air, reverberating like a warning bell. He eyed these disciples with icy killing intent.

How had the prideful dragon race fallen to this state? When had they started bullying the weak and cowering before the strong? The thought filled Long Chen with disgust.

His grip on the spear tightened as his teeth clenched. The dragon blood flowing through his veins tied him, in part, to these people. Yet, their behavior felt like an insult to everything the dragon race once stood for.

A dark urge to kill them all flared in his heart, but he suppressed it, striding forward with grim determination.

As he pressed deeper into the domain, more dragon experts appeared. Suddenly, one of them shouted in alarm, his voice breaking the tension.

“Isn’t that the resonant dragon race’s Divine Emperor weapon—the Blood Dragon Fang?!”

The declaration stirred a wave of disbelief. Long Chen hadn’t expected it to be regarded so highly. In its current state, the Blood Dragon Fang was a shadow of its former self. The weapon had likely suffered a grievous injury in the past and had never recovered.

Back in the Wind Domain Battlefield, Long Chen had avoided using it against true experts, fearing he might worsen its condition.

“How do you have the resonant dragon race’s divine weapon?!” demanded one of the onlookers, his voice brimming with accusation and fury.

Long Chen looked at the speaker, sensing an aura strikingly similar to Ying Tianhua’s.

“The resonant dragon race is in the Dragon Domain?” Long Chen’s voice dripped with contempt. “No wonder this place has fallen to such disgrace. Perhaps you fools are the source of the corruption!”

Without waiting for a reply, Long Chen’s hand slashed through the air. The space around the speaker twisted violently, eliciting a panicked shout as the figure attempted to flee. But it was too late. The distorted space swallowed him whole, and in the blink of an eye, he materialized helplessly in Long Chen’s iron grip.

Long Chen found that his comprehension of spatial laws had increased after advancing to the Heaven Saint realm. While this simple grasp through space looked simple, to do so against a Heaven Saint was actually very difficult.

Such a feat demanded profound insight and precise control. Too much force would pulverize the target; too little would allow them to tear free from the distortion.

This simple claw expressed Long Chen’s overall power. The captive, despite not being weak, had no time to resist and could only stare in terror, unable to comprehend how he had been so easily subdued.

Long Chen’s cold eyes scanned him briefly. Deciding the man was irredeemable, he wasted no time on words. He directly stabbed a finger through his head and conducted a brutal soulsearch.

What he uncovered only fanned the flames of his fury. The resonant dragon race was not only present in the Dragon Domain but held an esteemed position within it. Worse, they were openly collaborating with the Brahma Pill Valley—a fact that seemed to be common knowledge.

As Long Chen pieced the fragments together, a disturbing pattern emerged. The resonant dragon race had amassed a formidable force of fighters, mirroring the treachery that had unfolded outside the Endless Desolation.

There, the Netherdragon race had betrayed the Dragon Domain. Here, within the Heaven Essence world, it wasn’t just the resonant dragon race—it included the Netherdragon race and other factions.

This revelation broke Long Chen’s heart. The scale of betrayal mirrored the Dragon Sovereign’s agony, and for the first time, Long Chen truly grasped the depth of its pain.

“You fools... Are you forcing me to exterminate you all?” he muttered through gritted teeth, his voice trembling with killing intent.

He was about to lose control. With a wave of his spear, he increased his speed, heading deeper into the Dragon Domain.
